Tortoise BMI
Posted: 28 Feb 2019, 21:35
Hello all!
This is my first post here but I have been a follower for a while. I have had my lovely Horsefield, Chaz, for around 7 years. He has always seemed really healthy and mostly munches on romaine, the odd mushroom/tomato and my house plants (only the safe ones), occasionally with calcium supplements. He has full rein of the house, is very active from about January-October, and disappears for the rest of the year for what is usually an on/off snooze.
I was wondering if anyone knew any way to make sure he is a healthy weight for his size? I usually go by the rule that he gets about the equivalent of one romaine leaf a day, and this seems to work, but he is so so greedy I am always worried he isn't getting enough.
If anyone can give me some advice (or tips on my general care) I would be so grateful!
